Summer 2014 Professional Development Opportunities with IES!
Campers will have an option of participating in the three-day or five-day camp. Camp starts at 8:30 AM and ends at 2:30 PM, with an hour for lunch on your own. Campers will earn 5 hours of PD credit each day.
July 21 - 25: K-12 English Language Arts (ELA) Camp
Registration Links:
Register for 3 days (Click here)
Register for 5 days (Click here)
During days 1-3, campers will examine the vertical progression of the ELA standards from Kindergarten through Grade 12 through activities designed to stimulate thinking around the critical role of scaffolding instruction to meet the needs of all learners. Each day, campers will have the opportunity to partake in break out sessions to further develop skills in the areas of assessment and instructional technology, or may choose to use this time as Design Time. "Design Time" allows participants to continue to collaborate, plan and network with colleagues, with IES Staff Developers available for consultation and guidance during this time. Campers will be asked to consider sharing resources developed to promote regional collegiality.
Days 4 & 5 will be devoted to "Design Time". This will allow participants to continue to collaborate, plan and network with colleagues. IES Staff Developers will be available for consultation and guidance during this time to ensure guidance and support is available for personal projects and learning from Days 1-3 can be fully realized. Campers will be asked to consider sharing resources developed to promote regional collegiality. In preparation for our sessions, campers should consider major topics and learning targets for the first quarter, as well as bring texts, resources and other materials which will be utilized during design time.
Highlights:
● Examine the grade-level progression of specific Common Core Learning Standards for ELA speaking and listening, reading, and writing through a variety of texts.
● Design formative assessments which measure students’ understanding of those standards, using different application (app) technologies.
● Days 4 & 5 - Continue to develop learning from Days 1-3 or other projects to support upcoming instruction with guidance (if solicited) with IES Staff Developers.
● Each camp will share resources and learning via Google + Communities, Edmodo, and Twitter. It is highly recommended to create and join at least one of these platforms. You may also like to bring your own laptop or tablet to use during the design time and digital technology break-out sessions. (IES computers will be available on a limited basis)

August 11 - August 15: Technology Integration Camp
Registration Link for 3 Days (Click here)
Registration Link for 5 Days (Click here)
NOTE: Technology Camp is open to participants from districts that participate in the Model Schools Coser (Coser 566)
Course Description:
This camp will focus on the 4 C’s of Technology Integration as well as the Technology that is embedded in the Common Core Learning Standards. Monday will be centered around Communication and Collaboration, Tuesday will be Critical Thinking and Problem Solving, and Wednesday will be Creativity and Innovation. Each day, campers will have the opportunity to partake in break out sessions to further develop their skills and technology awareness based on the “C” of the day, or may choose to use this time as Design Time. "Design Time" allows participants to continue to collaborate, plan and network with colleagues, with IES Staff Developers available for consultation and guidance during this time. Campers will be asked to consider sharing resources developed to promote regional collegiality.
Summer camp is being offered in two formats - campers may choose three days or five days. If you join us for the whole week – day 4 and 5 will be designated for design time when you will be able to develop, create, plan, and collaborate with colleagues. It is recommended to bring texts, resources, and other materials that you may find useful in your design time (consider major topics or learning targets for the first quarter). We will have break-out sessions during days 1-3 so that participants can learn and practice with different tools that may not be familiar with. (Design time will be embedded into days 1-3 as well) The majority of our time together on Friday will be devoted to teacher led sessions to demonstrate what you have learned and created throughout the week and to teach your colleagues.
